Guanajuato

Clinging to the edge of a narrow gorge, Guanajuato’s extravagant colonial buildings tell the story of the city’s silver and gold mining past, while colorful houses, restaurants and shops compete for space on the hillsides. Cobblestone streets, leafy parks and open plazas make this a city for idle wandering, soaking in the convivial atmosphere in an open-air cafe or bar.

Guanajuato is famed for its cultural offerings, culminating in October’s Festival Cervantino. Throughout the year, discover its creative side as you tour studios and galleries, workshops and museums, exploring the cultural heart of this beautiful city.
